No one is claiming that it is true. What they are claiming is that it is what they want. Just because something isn’t true in an objective fashion does not mean it is less important to that person. A husband doesn’t need objective proof that his wife is beautiful, for example.
I embrace the reality that the meaning of life is subjective. Why is that a problem?
And we could decided as a society that locking up a pedophile is good.
Who are we to deny anyone their meaning in life? That sounds pretty biased – you know, like white supremacy or facism.
We are fellow human beings who have formed a society.
You don’t play Devil’s advocate very well.
You seem to have side-stepped in both of your replies. So a society of pedophiles can define their own good and you’re okay with that.
What kind of fallacy is that? Is that an ad hom?
We don’t live in a society of pedophiles, so the question is meaningless.
You also don’t understand logical fallacies.
Deflection again. Are you familiar with the word hypothetical or the term thought experiment?
Are you aware of reality? When you are ready to deal with the reality of human society, let me know.
You were attempting to discredit my reply with something irrelevant and personal. That is an ad hom.
I was giving my opinion of the quality of your argument, and it is not an ad hominem fallacy. If you think locking up pedophiles is fascist or racist then I don’t think you understand how human morality works nor do you understand what fascism and racism is.
That is irrelevant. Counter the argument.
What I said:
What you said:
I don’t think you understand what ‘like’ means.
You don’t understand . . .
. . . why pedophilia is immoral. It has to do with harm to children.
. . . what fascism or racism is. Locking up criminals through a just judicial system is not the same as a totalitarian political system that condones violence to further political goals, nor is it the same as denying basic human rights to people based on their skin color.
It is quite clear what I understand and what you don’t.
We were talking about the right to deny someone their self-defined relative meaning in life.
Correct. When that meaning of life involves hurting other people then it is the right of human society to stop them. It’s not that tough to figure out.
What is the locked-up pedophile’s meaning in life?
One that apparently hurts others which gives human society the right to lock him up. Again, this is the simple moral philosophy and I don’t understand why you are struggling with it.
…or anyone’s [whose] self-defined/self-proclaimed meaning/purpose in life is unfulfilled with no hope or expectation of it being so? (Who is struggling? 
)
What are you on about?
Aren’t you claiming that meaning and purpose can only exist with a creator? If so, did the creator make pedophiles?
Same for the pedophile, may their tribe increase.
When you are willing to have a meaningful discussion, please let me know.
He allowed evil to exist, but that’s another discussion.
